Mayor Draško Stanivuković, along with numerous residents, attended the opening of the newly built promenade, highlighting its authenticity and uniqueness.

"This promenade is truly special; there's nowhere else in the city where you can stroll along the Vrbas River, literally touching the water, feeling its beauty, its color, and the beauty of nature," Mayor Stanivuković remarked.

He also emphasized the ongoing efforts to enhance the riverfront, including the development of beaches, playgrounds, and sports facilities, with plans to extend the promenade further.

"We've transformed the riverbank and created new areas for the community to enjoy. Today, you can almost reach Banja Vrućica through this path, leading to breathtaking viewpoints atop Banj Hill," Mayor Stanivuković elaborated.

The new promenade, spanning approximately 1.5 kilometers, offers various attractions, showcasing the talents of local athletes and artists inspired by the Vrbas River.

"We've illuminated a section of the Vrbas River, creating an artistic corner where visitors can enjoy evening strolls beside the classic streetlights while admiring the river," stated the mayor's advisor, Milada Šukalo.

Praising the positive feedback from citizens and tourists, Šukalo urged everyone to preserve the environment and the river, inviting them to experience the beauty of Banja Luka's newest attraction.
